He gets easily frustrated even though he’s a smart kid.
After a while he became tired of long division and wanted to do multi-digit multiplication.

We did the 10’s and 100’s without a problem but then he got in a twitter when I asked him to multiply 1230 x 102. He kept ignoring the ‘0’ in 102 and kept coming up with the wrong answer. It was very frustrating for me to explain and demonstrate what he was doing wrong, especially with a time lag on the system. He wanted to quit. I told him to call his dad over and he explained it to him but by then he had checked out. He suffers from ADHD and when the meds wear off he is unreachable.

We’ll continue our weekly sessions, I just need to have the parents make certain he is properly medicated at the time.

Sewing a carrying bag out of black denim. I made something large enough to hold an alto sax or alto clarinet case, plus an instrument stand or two, plus a bit of sheet music, and I have some polyester webbing for a nice long shoulder strap. Just got sick and tired of trying to stuff everything into an IKEA bag or waddling over icy parking lots with bits and pieces of hardware tucked under one arm.

I'm sorry, but your beliefs are much too silly to take seriously. Got anything else we can discuss?
